Outline

• LLRF upgrades and developments at FLASH- Decision to keep MO frequency at 9MHz

=> Software & Hardware will be identical to XFEL

=> Implementation of uTCA based system at FLASH 2011/2012

=> XFEL software development has basically started!

• Highlights from FLASH operation

• Overview on synchronization + some recent results

• Roadmap (Tuesday …)Roadmap (Tuesday …)
